Ennio Morricone is a cut above the rest when it comes to the best composers in cinema and there’s no way two ways about it. Dabbling in surrealist/campy horror and the spaghetti western genre, Morricone has made songs that are not only perfect compliments to the films they’re prescribed to but songs that can stand perfectly on their own, without the need for context.Â Escalation is one of the more brisk soundtracks Morricone made as it clocks in under 30 minutes.Â Escalation is the typical glorious Morricone fare, with delightful string sections, Italian choruses, Middle Eastern ballads, brief salsa sections, harpsichord, guitar strumming that sounds like it should be featured in any Tarantino flick and swing – you get your money’s worth. Due to Morricone’s fame, this isn’t going to last very long so get to buyingÂ before it’s too late.Â Listen toÂ EscalationÂ below via the Spotify player and see what you think of it. Cheers!
